“I am pleased to be continuing my journey as a Manchester United player. I made this decision because I am very happy here,” the midfielder told the club official website at www.manutd.com.

Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho admits that the 30-year-old is a player he trusts and he’s happy the Belgian has decided to continue his career at Old Trafford.
